February 10, 201313 yr About to go get checked in for my sleep study. On step closer to being sleeved!
February 10, 201313 yr I did this a while back and am so glad I finally did! I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, now have a bipap machine and wouldn't want to be without it. I feel so much better! Good luck to you.

February 14, 201313 yr I go in the 28th for the sleep study. I met with the doctor today and he looked at my throat and said you have sleep apnea...I was like are you physic...He said no just been doing this for a while! LOL I am interested in how you made out. Please come back and let us know!
February 14, 201313 yr I had my first sleep study on Monday. Went into thinking I was probably ok, since most have told me that I don't really snore. Apparently I was wrong - was brought in Tuesday for a second study with a CPAP, and today they called and told me they would be sending me one. I have to admit I did feel more rested after the study with the CPAP - I guess it's one of those things that you don't really know you have and how it can make you feel until you finally experience a night of actual good sleep? Also, once a lot of weight is lost, wouldn't the apnea (potentially) go away?

Also, once a lot of weight is lost, wouldn't the apnea (potentially) go away? I would hope so!! My pulm specialist's office is taking forever. I had my first sleep study the first week of January. I just received my reports and was told the CPAP company should contact me in 4 weeks. UGGHHHH. Their slow process is agonizing. How is your process going?

The company providing the equipment (Medigy) contacted me today and took a payment. I guess that gets the ball rolling, but I have no idea what the time frame is.
February 14, 201313 yr Author I survived mine but hardly slept! First the room got terribly hot so I had to call them in to fix it. Then I kicked off a leg sensor and they had to come in. They came in and woke me at 4:30am to go home. I know I didn't sleep more than 4 hours. All they told me was I didn't snore and they got the readings they needed but I haven't heard anything back from them or my surgeons office.

They said most sleep issues would be resolved with the weight loss so it was up to me if I got it.
February 15, 201313 yr I have had a CPAP since 2007...was able to quit using it 3 yrs ago when I lost 85 pounds. Needed to start using it again when I gained back...so yes, sleep apnea can go away with weight loss! I can tell you exactly what weight I need to be at for mine to disappear. Can't wait to get rid of that thing again for good!
